Simply amazing….begginers, there is light !

Question:

Well after two weeks of practice, practice, practice I am starting to see a big difference in hand position, finger strength, tab and note reading….this is really getting fun now that I see some improvements. I was making a chord and looked down and saw that the string was actually hitting the ole fret board with out a conscious effort to get it there….put a big grin on my face. Big improvements in barr chords also. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the tips, comments and patience from allot of you. Beginners, it may seem like your not making any improvement, but if you keep with it you’ll get results. Thanks all Kevin

Good deal Kevin! Like anything thats really worthwhile it takes time, practice, and an open mind to new ideas and methods to be your best. Guitar is a life long obsession once its in your blood. It shouldnt be tooooo easy for that reason. Course, ive known sum pups who just picked it up and flew right by me after a couple years but i was happy for them.  The real hard parts of learning the guitar are getting the hands to conform to the new positions they arnt used to. And getting past the finger burn and blisters during the first months. And then after you get perty good you will find you fall into slumps and ruts. But persevere and you will get thru them all!

I’ve been applying myself more lately and have seen improvement lately also. I received a pedal effect for Christmas, which was nice because I wanted one but thought I should wait until I was "really good" before I go spending money on anything like that. I’m here to tell you, don’t wait!  Within your financial bounds, do what ever you want, get what ever you want.  The price you pay for the equipment will be far out weighted by the sense of accompishment & good feeling that you can make/play music that sounds good. muzickmn

Fine if you just want fun, but in my experience, friends, who are better guitarists than me but still not very good, sound dreadful when they start applying effects. It’s not that the effects are bad or they make the sound worse, it’s just that listeners come to associate effects with good playing and when they are used by beginners they just show up the limitations of the player. Listeners are very tolerant of the simplicity that beginners are limited to, but a load of electronics raises expectations… Heh, ignore me.  I’m just feeling sour ‘coz Santa didn’t bring me one
